well that settles it, ive pre ordered r2 for 32quid................ a rich single player and best online multiplayer on a console. i cnt wait........... btw theres a similar horde type mode but diff is more enemies on screen. i might try gears2 after xmas but i also want cod5 then killzone will be released. so it may be difficult to get gears2w. theres simply to many good games coming out on ps3. guess il have to wait till gears goes into the "2 for 30pounds range" in gamestation.................bollocks to fanboy reviewers

 

These aren't fanboy reviews....you're just creating some sort of wierd nonsensical damage control.

You're one of the biggest PS3 fans on this forum and I'm sick of you pretending like you're giving Gears 2 a fair shake. I can quote you at least twice in this very topic being very biased and immature when flaming Gears 2.

Whats wrong with being a fan? Isn't everyone in this site a fan of some console or the other?

Overwhelming number of your posts are anti-Sony, no one uses that as an argument against you, why do you use that logic against what Skeeuk is saying?

When he says that those are fan boy reviews that is his opinion, and for sure that one review in gamedaily sucks ass. They put the game down for being too hard, hardly mentions the co-op mode and complains against Nathan Hale for having no personality.

And yes, unlike individuals, its wrong for reviewers of independent gaming websites to not sound like fanboys

 

Oh, my dear oc, there's nothing wrong with being a fan. I'm a 360 fan.

However, what Skeeuk has given us isn't an opinion. Opinions are based on facts and reasonings. Skeeuk has given us an assumption, based on another assumption.

Skeeuk, in this case, assumes that R2 is an epic AAA game. Furthermore, he assumes that anyone who plays the game should instantly realize that. His second assumption is, that people who say that the game isn't nearly flawless, obviously knew that it was...but they lied about it, becasue the game was on the Playstation 3.

Now, you'll see many ownings come from me....but you'll never see me make such a convoluted claim. I would never say that Fable 2 didn't score 90 percent because of Fanboy reviewers, or that LBP scored so high because of Fanboy reviews.

There is nothing wrong with being a fan. However, there is something called damage control. That is when something bad happens to something related to whatever you're a fan of, and you make up an excuse. That excuse will often be far fetched, unprovable, and can't stand up to any scrutiany.

In this case Skeeuk has used "damage control" based on assumptions(that he very well probably believes) that are simply lucrious.

If I didn't point that out, then what sort of poster would I be?

When something bad happens to Sony, or Nintendo, or Microsoft, dont' try to make excuses for it. Just accept it, realize that it's probably not that bad, and move on. Making up excuses like "They cheated," is called beinga sore loser. Being a sore loser is immature, unseemly, and impolite.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
